hi all

On top of the world today, after aupickup and alex got the van to the stage where it is actually driveable!!! Engine runs well, brakes are spot on; basically all major systems working well apart from the odd glitch with the wiring of the lights.

There's loads of stuff still to do, but how exhilarating to actually drive it around a little bit!

And for everyone who has been asking for photos: here you are: the Beast alongside his new buddy, the feisty and elegant Fenchurch.

Take them for a spin in it when you've got the MOT! I think there may be a queue

alex has already driven it

The only shadow on the occasion was that aupickup wasn't here, he had to be at work

Love the way the colour changes in different lights. Can you get it in green/blue?

What about limeflower coloured seats then you could say it was an "original" colour interior?

sure! you can get lots of different combinations. Try googling Rage Extreme (that's not where i got mine but they have a fairly good name, i think).

Don't know if its been said before, but....WOW! (And about time too after all that rubbish about not being able to get the camera near it in the garage!!

)

Well, it's mostly the rocking horse van - but it does now have a different bonnet, and the back section off a Royal Mail van

Thanks, LINEARAUDIO, glad you like it!
